摘要

People living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk of COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality. We describe the effect of a ‘One-Stop-Shop’ intervention on COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV in Nairobi and Kajiado Counties, Kenya. All PLHIV in selected HIV clinics in Nairobi and Kajiado were included. They received the COVID-19 vaccine alongside other PLHIV services within the HIV clinics. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square test and two sample proportion tests were performed. COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV in both counties increased post-intervention. Nairobi County had 61% COVID-19 vaccine uptake post intervention compared to 38% pre intervention while Kajiado County had 72% uptake, up from 49% pre intervention. Females had the highest post intervention uptake in both counties at 52% (Nairobi) and 54% (Kajiado). In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV increased after implementation of the One-Stop-Shop intervention.
